Quake Arena LAN Question

[Paolo]

I have 2 'puters networked and both running Q3A. I can't seem to get a "local" game setup between them. I set up the server in one, but the other doesn't find it. Is this because the protocal I am using is netBEUI and not TCP/IP mayhaps? Could you recommend a site if the answer is not a simple one.? Thanks...

You need to be using IPX. Install this protocol on each puter and you will have no problems finding a game at all. TCP/IP works too, but it's slower.

Yeah, I can't wait to get my second puter up and running to do the same. Oh yeah...I got no mates interested in fragging to their hearts content. Those that do, get pi$$ed off eventually and it's no fun fraggin someone when they haven't even played the game b4. My wife just flatly refuses to come near me when I'm on the PC Gunna have to stick with Bots and a 56k connection with 250ms pings....
